Never Stop Praying For Your Spouse

If there is one thing I have learned over the past twenty-one years of marriage it's this…never stop praying. I know that my marriage…which went through five years of separation and near divorce…is whole and thriving today because of prayer.

Prayer.Creativity.Mission

  Growing up I'd always understood prayer to be done in a particular way…mainly hands folded, eyes closed.

One of them believes she is the queen of the house and demands immediate service from her human servants at her whim. Another is very kitten-like, still stealing tiny stuffed toys from my daughters [...]

No Signal

Cell phones. Marvelous little pieces of technology that fit in the palm of your hand. You can put them in your pocket, stash them in your purse. You can even be wired to one by sticking another even smaller gadget in your ear while leaving the cell phone attached to your belt and look as [...]

Sometimes Simple Is Better

Do you know what I like about most Mexican restaurants? I'm not talking about fast food joints with dollar menus, no, I mean the real deal.  Authentic. The kind of place that's family owned and operated, with brightly colored woven blankets and Aztec art lining the walls. Where the moment you walk through the door [...]
